You can do it. Use these indexes of articles on how individual modelers
used prototype photos as a guide to installing detail parts to recreate
specific real railroad locomotives. The indexes include two types of
articles: the first series includes articles that show only the prototype
locomotive as part of “The Journal’s” monthly series of
“One-Detail-At-A-Time” articles illustrating prototype locomotives with
part-by-part listings of all the available detail parts needed to duplicate
that full-size locomotive in miniature.
The index of the second series includes articles on HO or N scale model
locomotives that have been detailed and painted to match the prototype
locomotive in an accompanying photograph. When two brands of models are
listed, the first brand indicates the body and the second listing is the
chassis (in some cases, Rail Power provides the frame as well as the body,
while Athearn provides only the motors, drive shafts and trucks). Each
article includes a complete Bill of Materials of all parts, paints and
decals used.
The articles in bold type include step-by-step instructions on
how the project is done so you can do it yourself. With the knowledge you
can gain from those how-to articles, you can use the “One-Detail-At-A-Time”
articles (with the dozens of arrows and numbers) to apply detail parts to
almost any locomotive model so it matches that specific prototype in every
detail.
